Chapter Title: What Kind of Woman Is This?
-----------------------------------------------------------------
My announcement in the auditorium had been posted as an official company notice.
To implement it, people from the General Affairs and Accounting departments came to see me.
"CEO, to carry out what you mentioned... we'll need a substantial budget."
"That's right. Compared to our current revenue, the operating costs..."
In short, we didn't have the money.
These issues cropped up because we were running the company legitimately.
The former CEO, Jang Min-hoo, had always tried to solve problems like this using the company's own resources.
'It'd be so easy if we could just throw money at it.'
Given the former CEO's character and integrity,
he probably thought it wasn't right for the head of a company with over a thousand employees to rely on a search function to run things.
It could lead to laziness or over-dependence if he wasn't careful.
'Still, we need to make money.'
I looked at the two of them and said,
"I've got some personal investment profits. I'll transfer them to the company's operating funds. That should cover it, right?"
"Well... it's not something a small amount can handle."
"CEO, how much exactly...?"
"Around 20 billion won, maybe?"
"Whoa!"
"Gasp!"
"I'll send over 20 billion won for starters. Make sure it gets transferred smoothly without any issues."
I'd casually made 50 billion won just the other day, so this was doable.
Using that money for company welfare? Perfect.
'Money's easy to make again anyway.'
After they left,
"CEO, you had that much money?"
Kim Gi-woo asked.
"Yeah. I dabbled in some crypto recently and got lucky."
"Crypto?"
"Yep. Why?"
"You said you never touched that stuff."
"I did, but I gave it a shot for the company's welfare. Everyone benefits when I make money and put it back into the company, right?"
Kim Gi-woo smiled.
"CEO, you're something else. It really feels like the company is all you care about."
More than that, I just wanted to splash cash around freely.
I wanted to experience spending money in ways my old self could never have dreamed of.
"Gi-woo, don't you need anything?"
"I'm good."
"That suit looks a bit outdated. Your shoes too."
"They're still wearable."
"You're my secretary. You need to look sharp at all times."
I handed him my card.
"Go buy the best. Suit, ties, shoes, bag, watch—the works."
"You don't have to do this, CEO."
"Just go. No arguments."
"Then, thank you. I'll make good use of it."
"I'll check. Buy the expensive stuff."
"Yes, CEO."
Kim Gi-woo left with a bright smile.
Yeah, that felt right.
A person has to show some basic decency.
"Should I buy him a house too?"
I'd have to think about it.
*** Work wrapped up, and I headed home.
Every employee I passed in the lobby greeted me.
Just then, Han Joo-hee was leaving too, and our eyes met.
Bow.
Han Joo-hee gave a light nod.
'She's definitely gorgeous.'
Even now, plenty of guys were staring at her.
Did she know how pretty she was?
I'd never seen her laugh while talking to a man.
I crossed the lobby and took the elevator down to the basement garage, then got in the car.
"I'll drive you, CEO."
Having a chauffeur came with the CEO perks. Nice.
"Thanks."
"Yes, sir. I'll get you home safely."
After arriving home, showering, and lying in bed, I started thinking.
"Han Joo-hee first, I guess?"
I hated Choi Seok-hyun's face more, but I'd hold off for a better opportunity.
"I want to ruin that chic, haughty face of hers."
Honestly, Han Joo-hee was stunning.
Hard to believe she was a married woman—she was that alluring.
"Her marriage looks solid. Would she even be tempted?"
Best to dig into info on Han Joo-hee first.
I didn't want to seduce her like I did Lee Se-jeong.
"That wouldn't satisfy me."
Han Joo-hee had incredibly strong pride.
She was aloof, charismatic.
I wanted to break that spirit.
Make her apologize while calling my name.
To do that, I needed to grab her weakness and torment her.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Tell me everything about Team Leader Han Joo-hee's unfair work practices or anything possibly illegal.] No illegal activities confirmed. However, she has a tendency to dump work on her college juniors from time to time and shows discriminatory attitudes toward employees not from Korea University. Here are the examples: 1. [Omitted] 2. [Omitted] ... "Whoa."
I wasn't the only one she'd discriminated against for not being from Korea University.
There were a whopping 17 instances of unfair treatment, down to the smallest details.
Eleven of them involved me.
I'd unknowingly dumped a ton of work on Choi Seok-hyun and the other college juniors.
"No wonder the team was almost all Korea University grads."
That's why I'd been treated like a pushover in there.
Those Korea University guys had strutted around, using me for their own gain.
"They kept messing with me without even firing me."
Probably because it benefited them.
You need a pushover or two to make things easy.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Why does Han Joo-hee act so boldly despite all these unfair practices?] Han Joo-hee is aware her actions might be unfair. However, she believes merit-based promotions are essential for the team and company's growth, with her standards skewed toward trusted Korea University graduates. She has strong confidence in her own performance and abilities, along with the conviction that no one can replace her, and a sense of responsibility. This isn't bravado—it's calculated self-assurance. It leads to an attitude unshaken by external criticism or internal conflicts. "Unbelievable."
Prioritizing Korea University grads for the team and company?
Sure, Korea University has the top students in the country.
But that doesn't mean they excel at work.
Prejudices aside, you need objective judgment.
"So she treated me like a pushover."
She straight-up looked down on me.
Decided on her own that I was less capable than Korea University grads.
And even if her unfairness got exposed, she was confident the company wouldn't fire her.
"That's a shame."
She was undeniably competent.
This is why people with strong convictions are scary.
"What to do?"
I knew her marriage was happy.
I'd seen her on calls with her husband abroad, smiling sometimes.
She was even prettier when she did.
I couldn't make her atone for her unfairness with her body.
Her personality wouldn't allow it.
And I'd be risking too much.
It was a pointless idea from the start.
I needed other exploitable info.
No illegal stuff.
Nothing harming the company.
Great at her job—no glaring weaknesses there.
"Personal life might be different."
Even seemingly perfect people screw up in private sometimes.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Does Han Joo-hee have any secret she'd absolutely never want exposed? If so, tell me. Something immoral or against her conscience.] None exists. Han Joo-hee has lived a life of strict self-discipline. She tolerates no mistakes, no matter how small, and pursues perfection. No immoral acts, no actions against her conscience—ever. "She's insane."
How could there be a woman like this?
All the behavior I'd seen from Han Joo-hee wasn't an act.
No wonder she oozed confidence.
"Ha. What now?"
I wanted to break her and turn her into my bitch no matter what.
After banging Lee Se-jeong, I felt no guilt about Han Joo-hee being married.
If anything, the thrill of seeing that haughty face sobbing in depravity was all I could think about.
"Let's dig deeper."
She's a woman, after all.
Any woman with a pussy will eventually crave a better cock.
She just hadn't had the chance to cheat.
No issues in private life? What about family?
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ * Han Joo-hee deeply loves and trusts her husband. No suspicions whatsoever. * No men at the company interest her. They're all just employees. * She would never betray her husband. * Satisfied with her job. Wants to advance her career further. * No plans for kids yet. Her husband respects that. * [Omitted] "I'm losing it."
I'd drilled down into every detail looking for a gap, but nothing usable as a weakness.
"No. Let's try a different angle."
No weaknesses? Find a way to shake her up.
I went for the sexual angle.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ [Is Han Joo-hee satisfied with sex with her husband?] She is mentally satisfied with sex with her husband. Just being together brings her peace. However, a small doubt has arisen recently. She's never experienced an orgasm, so she's curious about what it feels like. "Jackpot!"
She's never had an orgasm.
This could be the perfect weakness to exploit.
"Yeah, this is it."
Any woman with a pussy will crave pleasure in the end.
At 33, she's right in her sexual prime.
"Han Joo-hee is a woman after all."
Now I was intrigued.
Han Joo-hee, who had zero interest in other men.
She might brush off my advances coldly.
"But my cock is different."
I had the ultimate weapon my old self never did.
Perfect size, girth, stamina—everything.
Even Lee Se-jeong fell to pleasure in one night.
A great idea hit me.
"Time to film some proper boss-subordinate NTR."
AVs have episodes where wives or girlfriends go on business trips with their bosses and end up corrupted.
Super popular, tons of actresses in them.
"That'll do it."
As CEO, I had to shoot some boss action.
Of course, I'd prepare thoroughly to minimize risks—would take time.
The search also gave me a nice bonus condition.
⚙ SYSTEM NOTIFICATION ⚙ * Han Joo-hee's alcohol tolerance is one bottle of soju. When drunk, she just passes out—that's her habit. So she hasn't drunk at all since marriage. I knew best that she never drank.
She skipped it even at team dinners.
But I had the search ability.
"Gotta find a project for that."
One where Han Joo-hee has to entertain someone.
A situation where she absolutely must drink.
Overnight business trip a must, of course.
